In the mid-1990s, amidst the rapid rise of wireless technology, a tragedy occurred that reshaped the course of one father’s life and exposed cracks in the scientific and regulatory foundations of modern telecommunications, he founded RF Safe. In 1995, a neural tube defect took the life of his daughter. Just two years later, studies emerged […]

The Overlooked Role of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) in Circadian Rhythms and Biological Health
The intricate interplay between electromagnetic fields (EMFs), light, and biological rhythms has long been underestimated in its importance to human health. A recent study, Effects of light, electromagnetic fields and water on biological rhythms, dives deep into this connection, shedding light on the subtle yet profound ways EMFs influence physiological processes and the circadian rhythm. […]
The Great RF Radiation Betrayal: How the WHO, ICNIRP, and Captured Regulators Endanger Public Health and Our Children’s Future
We stand at a pivotal moment in public health history, one that may define how we protect—or fail to protect—future generations from a pervasive yet largely ignored threat: radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). For decades, powerful industry interests, regulatory agencies, and even global health authorities have clung to an outdated, “thermal-only” model of safety. This framework […]
Exposed and Ignored: The WHO’s Shameless Exclusion of Real-World Wireless Risks
Imagine trusting a global health authority—an organization you believe is dedicated to public welfare—to honestly assess the safety of the wireless environment you and your family live in every day. Now imagine discovering that this organization, instead of focusing on the actual frequencies your children are exposed to, deliberately excludes them from its “comprehensive” health […]
The Great Wireless Cover-Up: How Key Health Research Is Being Systematically Excluded
In an age where our lives revolve around wireless connectivity, you’d think the World Health Organization (WHO) and its affiliated experts would be laser-focused on ensuring these technologies are safe. Our homes, schools, workplaces, and even rural landscapes are blanketed by signals—4G, 5G, and the countless frequencies of modern cellular networks. Yet recent reviews and […]
A Critical Response to ICNIRP’s “Data Gaps” Statement
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has released a statement acknowledging certain “gaps in knowledge” relevant to their radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines. On the surface, it might seem like a step toward transparency—admitting they don’t have all the answers. Yet a closer look at their selective framing and narrowly defined priorities reveals a […]
Academia, Industry, and Regulatory Agencies: The Unholy Trinity Hiding RF Radiation Risks from the World
Imagine the trust we place in the institutions that guide our safety—the researchers in academia, the regulatory bodies sworn to protect us, and the global organizations we hold as the pinnacle of health authority. Now imagine that these very institutions have been compromised, captured by industry interests, and are actively hiding one of the most […]
Why the World Health Organization’s EMF Project is a Captured Agency
WHO-EMF Project Systematic Reviews and Challenges The report critiques the World Health Organization’s (WHO) EMF Project, focusing on systematic reviews regarding the health effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation. These reviews, published in Environment International, evaluate RF exposure risks associated with devices like mobile phones. However, the reviews have faced criticism for flawed methodologies, selective evidence […]
Understanding Entropic Waste: My Personal Experience and the Urgent Need to Protect Our Future
Hello, I’m John Coates, founder of RF Safe. I started RF Safe in the 1990s after experiencing a tragedy that forever shaped my perspective on environmental health risks. In 1995, I lost my daughter, Angel Leigh Coates, to a severe neural tube defect. It was devastating, and at the time, I had no idea what […]
Wireless Radiation Risks, Legacy Regulations, and Elon’s Opportunity to Lead Change
Dear Elon, Outdated Assumptions: Current FCC cell phone radiation guidelines are stuck in a 1990s “thermal-only” model. Modern studies confirm non-thermal biological effects (DNA damage, possible cancer risks, fertility issues) at everyday exposure levels. Legal Shackles—Section 704 (1996 Telecom Act): This law forbids local communities from rejecting cell towers based on health/environmental concerns. Towns, schools, […]
Parents, Advocates Call on Elon Musk and DOGE to Address Outdated Wireless Regulations and Protect Public Health
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: John Coates 727-610-1188 Tampa, FL – A coalition of concerned parents, health advocates, and community leaders today urged Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to take immediate action to update decades-old telecommunications regulations that deny local governments the ability to protect their communities from potential health risks associated […]
An Open Letter to Elon Musk: Embrace the Science, Liberate Local Control, and Lead Us into a Safer Wireless Future
Dear Elon, First, allow me to express my admiration for what you’ve accomplished. Your relentless drive to innovate—to build rockets that land themselves, to electrify transport, to explore neural interfaces, and to connect the world via Starlink—has already reshaped our reality. You’ve taken on entrenched industries and paradigms time and again, emerging as a visionary […]
